Faith Direct: During Lent, we prepare ourselves through

prayer and giving back to our parish. But, with busy lives

and active families, it's easy to skip a weekly tithe when

you are unable to attend Mass or are out of town.�

This Lent, you are invited to set up recurring eGiving

though Faith Direct. Thanks to eGiving, your weekly

offertory will be automatically taken care of, which saves

you time and saves our parish money by eliminating all

those unused offertory envelopes. Getting started is easy!

La Salette Reflections�

Fr. Rene Butler, M.S�

Wayne Vanasse�

Vocation �

(2

nd

Sunday of Lent: Genesis 12:1�4; 2 Timothy 1:8�10;

Matthew 17:1�9)�

There is a slight contradiction between the Psalm and

our second reading. In the first we read, “See, the eyes

of the Lord are upon those who fear him, upon those

who hope for his kindness, to deliver them from death

and preserve them in spite of famine.” Hope and

reverential fear seem to be a condition for deliverance.�

But then St. Paul tells us, “He saved us and called us

to a holy life, not according to our works but according

to his own design.” Here, salvation is unconditional.�

We see this also in the first reading. Abram was called,

and received God’s excellent promises, without having

fulfilled any requirement. And in the Gospel, no reason

is given why Jesus chose Peter, James and John to

witness his Transfiguration.�

The Lord calls whom he will, when he will, as he will.

This is true for us, too. As La Salette Laity, Sisters and

Missionaries, we share the free gift of Mary’s love.�

As in the case of Abram, responding to the call means

change, not necessarily geographical, of course, but a

change of heart, open to further gifts: fear of the Lord,

generosity in God’s service, willingness to bear our

“share of hardship for the gospel.”�

The life of faith, professing and living out the Gospel

message as Catholics, has never been easy, but it

seems more difficult in the modern age. It demands

prayer. Prayer, in turn, requires silence, at least

enough for us to be able to hear the words, “This is my

beloved Son... listen to him,” spoken from a shining

cloud, and silently echoed by a Beautiful Lady bearing

his image on her breast.�

And how can we read today’s Psalm without thinking of

her. Through her tears she saw the sufferings of so

many; she came “to deliver them from death and

preserve them in spite of famine,” even though they

were far from fearing the Lord or hoping for his

kindness.�

How do we share that deliverance? There is no one

answer to such a question. But when we deeply desire

to live out our vocation, an answer will present itself in

due time, probably accompanied by the words, “Do not

be afraid.”�

Alpha is an opportunity to explore life

and the Catholic Christian faith in a

friendly, open and informal setting. It

offers an opportunity to consider what

we believe, why we believe it, and

what it has to do with how we live.�We

revisit our most basic Christian beliefs

and renew our openness to the Holy Spirit to be active in

our daily lives.� Alpha is designed to meet everyone

where they are and invite them to grow even closer to

Jesus. The next Alpha is on Saturday, March 14th from

7:00 � 9:00 pm in the Main Hall. Do not worry about your

dinner on these Saturdays � dinner will be served. You

will get to know happy, loving people around a dinner

table and together we will watch a video on a topic of the

very basics of Christianity.�After the video, there will be

time to have a conversation about the content of the

video.�

I humbly request each one of you to become part of

Alpha, in these THREE ways:�

Three Names: This week, I ask you to pray for the three

people in your lives, whom you think especially need to

gain faith or deepen their faith. This week, pray for these

individuals and for your own renewal of faith.�

Personal Invitation: As part of your Lenten commitment,

I ask you take on this gentle and generous task of

personally inviting those three people to attend Alpha.

Meet with them and assure them that you will accompany

them.�

Prayer: 11:02 (In Gospel of Luke 11:02, Jesus said, “…

thy Kingdom come”). We ask you to set an alarm on your

cell phone for 11:02 AM or PM. When the alarm goes off,

pause, and pray for the three people you have invited to

Alpha. Maybe you have been longing for something more

meaningful; maybe you have been feeling the

disconnect, feeling of drifting away. Maybe Alpha is for

you!�

Lenten Alms Giving Charity is a frequent and

important theme of the Gospels. As individual members

of Mary Queen, each of us is called to focus more

closely on almsgiving during Lent. Almsgiving is the

outward action of donating money or goods to the poor

as a reflection of your love for Jesus. This year during

Lent we are asking every person/family to donate the

following items to our Food Pantry. When you come to

Mass each weekend please place the items in the Food

Pantry Donation Box located in the church narthex.�

It is better to give alms than to store up gold; for

almsgiving saves one from death and expiates every sin.

Those who regularly give alms shall enjoy a full life" (Tob

12:8 9). �

Divine Mercy Sunday�

We begin to prepare in Lent for our

celebration of Easter and Divine Mercy

Sunday as the eighth day of thanksgiving

(the Octave Day of Easter). We especially

focus on performing works of mercy,

spending more time in prayer, as well as

doing penances and giving alms. It is

important to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation

during Lent. Praying The Divine Mercy Chaplet and

Novena to The Divine Mercy can be helpful preparation

as well.*�

Whether we prepare for Mercy Sunday individually or as a

member of a parish or other group, the essential ABC’s

remain the same���Ask for Mercy, Be merciful to others,

and Completely trust in Jesus.*�

The Divine Mercy Novena and Chaplet will begin on Good

Friday, April 10th, following the 3:00 PM Stations of the

Cross. The remaining eight days of the Novena, from

April 11th � 18th will be prayed at 3:00 PM in the St.

Joseph Chapel, including Easter Sunday. Divine Mercy

Sunday is April 19th. Watch the bulletin for more details. �

Hospitality Ministry/Ushers �

We are fortunate to have a large and vibrant parish family

at Mary Queen. It takes several ministries and many

volunteers within each of those ministries to conduct each

Mass.�The Hospitality Ministry/Ushers are an integral part

of the Mass.� Each Mass has a team of Ushers � they

serve at all weekend Masses, as well as special Masses

throughout the year.�Mary Queen needs more volunteers

to serve our parish as Ushers at all the Masses.� If you

desire to join a ministry, but are unsure about which one �

prayerfully consider serving our parish as an Usher.�It is a

rewarding service open to men, women and responsible

children. If you have questions, please ask an Usher at

any of the Masses or contact James McConnell,

Hospitality Ministry Chairman at [email protected].

Thank you for considering our ministry.�
